Silicone-based thickness insensitive spectrally selective (TISS) paints as selective paint coatings for coloured solar absorbers. Pt.I
The objective of this study was to make paints having a variety of colours and whose spectral selectivity would be independent of the thickness of the deposited layer of paint (thickness insensitive spectrally selective (TISS) paint coatings). TISS paint coatings combine the advantages of paints (longevity and chemical resistance achieved by a high thickness of the applied layer, variety of colours and simple application) with spectral selectivity. Low emittance is attained by the addition of bare aluminium, coloured aluminium flake pigments or copper flake pigments, while other inorganic pigments impart various colours to the paints. Pigments were dispersed in silicone resin binder imparting the TISS paint coatings high-temperature tolerance, excellent adhesion, uv resistance, flexibility and weather-durability, which make them suitable coatings for coloured glazed or unglazed solar absorbers
Texture evolution during cross rolling and annealing of high-purity nickel
Evolution of texture during cross rolling and subsequent annealing was studied in high-purity nickel. For this purpose nickel samples were subjected to multipass cross rolling up to 90 pct reduction in thickness followed by annealing at different temperatures ranging between 673 K and 1073 K (400 C and 800 C). Cross rolling was carried out by rotating the samples about the normal direction (ND) by 90 deg interchanging the rolling direction and transverse direction (TD) between each consecutive pass. The development of microstructure and texture was characterized using X-ray and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) techniques. The deformation texture was characterized by the presence of strong brass ({110}〈;112〉) and ND-rotated brass ({011} 〈;2113̄13〉)) orientations. Upon annealing at 673 K (400 C), ND||[111] fiber could be observed in the microtexture which originated from the twin formation of the recrystallized TD-rotated cube ({027} 〈;07̄2〉) grains. The fiber was weakened after annealing at 1073 K (800 C) because of the decreased propensity for twin formation, and the microtexture was found to be weak and diffused. EBSD studies on early recrystallization stages indicated the absence of preferential nucleation of cube grains being in agreement with a weak cube texture formation in annealed cross-rolled high-purity nicke

Large-scale association analysis identifies 13 new susceptibility loci for coronary artery disease
We performed a meta-analysis of 14 genome-wide association studies of coronary artery disease (CAD) comprising 22,233 individuals with CAD (cases) and 64,762 controls of European descent followed by genotyping of top association signals in 56,682 additional individuals. This analysis identified 13 loci newly associated with CAD at P < 5 - 10'8 and confirmed the association of 10 of 12 previously reported CAD loci. The 13 new loci showed risk allele frequencies ranging from 0.13 to 0.91 and were associated with a 6% to 17% increase in the risk of CAD per allele. Notably, only three of the new loci showed significant association with traditional CAD risk factors and the majority lie in gene regions not previously implicated in the pathogenesis of CAD. Finally, five of the new CAD risk loci appear to have pleiotropic effects, showing strong association with various other human diseases or traits. © 2011 Nature America, Inc. All rights reserved
